Just because it\'s a dragon in the employ of a Big Bad doesn\'t necessarily make it The Dragon (and he isn\'t even the Big Bad). Seems some Pokémon fans are too eager to use the term \"literal\". Leaving Nobunaga\'s Pokémon because I haven\'t played the game yet.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-Pokmon_Nobunagas_Ambition_9751.png]]


Announced in December 2011 and released on March 17th, 2012 in Japan, franchise giant ''{{Pokemon}}'' [[{{Crossover}} crosses over]] with, of all things, ''NobunagasAmbition'', a real-time strategy series known to [[NoExportForYou Japan more than America.]]

The game is set in the fictional region of Ransei, where warlords fight alongside Pokémon. You play as a young person who befriends an Eevee. Not much is known about the plot at all [[AndTheFandomRejoiced but many fans reacted positively with its announcement,]] [[DarkerAndEdgier likely due to its potential.]]

In April 2012, it was revealed that the game will be brought to the United States, under the title ''Pokémon Conquest'', sometime in June. [[AndTheFandomRejoiced The internet nearly exploded]].

----
!! This game provides examples of:

* AdaptationDyeJob: Mori Motonari was given green hair, fitting to the Grass theme he was also given.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Most of the Bushou leaders get special episodes focusing on them after the main story is completed.
* AnachronismStew: Mewtwo's a genetic experiment. What's he doing in feudal Japan?
** The clothing style of some of the Bushou leaders counts as well. Sun visors probably weren't a standard in Japanese fashion back than. Ditto Masanori with his Kamina glasses, and Gracia's ''top hat''.
** The Tram Nation, period. It's practically a feudal Japanese ''power plant''.
** Oh, and if you command a Bushou to move to a non-adjacent nation, they travel ''by blimp.'' I think it's safe to say historical accuracy wasn't the developers first priority in this game...
* BadassMustache: Hideyoshi in his upgraded form.
* BagOfSpilling: Your link level and finances are reset to the default in every post-game episode.
* BattleCouple: Amoung the Bushou Leaders accompanying Nobunaga in the final battle is his wife Nouhime.
** Ginchiyo and Muneshige Tachibana defend the Tram nation much earlier. And once you recruit them, they'll ''only'' evolve if the other is present.
** Nene and Hideyoshi in the Poison Fang Nation too.
* BigFun: Takeda Shingen and his two Pokémon of choice.
* BoobsOfSteel: Most of the female Bushou.
* BraggingRightsReward: [[spoiler: The hero's final form.]] You have to finish ''everything'' in the game that involves him or her before you unlock it, although it does make repeat runs through the final scenario a little easier.
* BrotherSisterTeam: Kenshin and Ayagozen.
* BrutalBonusLevel: Some of the special episodes are significantly harder than the main game.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Yoshimoto. For one, [[AndYouThoughtItWasAGame he doesn't realize losing a battle means losing his castle until one of his retainers informs him.]] He also seems to think he's playing a ball game called "Pokemari" rather than actually battling. He's also quite the AdultChild.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: Non-fire type Pokemon, and humans for that matter, are certainly pretty fine with battling in the middle of a volcano. In fact the Fire Nation in its entirety is practically a volcano, it's a wonder how people even live there...
* {{Crossover}}: ''{{Pokemon}}'' meets ''NobunagasAmbition''.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Either Kenshin or Shingen. (whichever you choose to attack) You challenge them on their home turf, only for them to ''refuse'', you go back to your preveous base, dissapointed... [[spoiler: and ''they'' attack ''you'' there!]]
* DifficultySpike: Right after the water kingdom.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: To recruit new Bushou, you first have to defeat them in battle [[TimedMission within a certain number of turns]] to 'earn their respect'. This even works on the Bushou Leaders' generic minions, but the Leaders themselves have one additional requirement: the final blow must be dealt by one of the two protagonists. (i.e. the Hero or Oichi) And even then, some leaders won't join unless the story specifies it.
* DesignatedGirlFight: Ginchiyo's special episode.
* DropTheHammer: According to a conversation with an NPC, Yoshihiro still has his iconic hammer from the ''SamuraiWarriors'' series. [[MundaneUtility He only gets to use it when gold mining though.]]
* DubNameChange: Aside from the Pokémon due to GrandfatherClause, and the title itself, this looks to be the first localized Pokémon game to largely avert this.
* ElaborateEqualsEffective: The Bushou Leaders get more-impressive outfits as they improve their link with their Pokémon.
* ElegantGothicLolita: Gracia. It even shows in her choice of Pokemon!
* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler: You get to use Arceus for the final battle with Nobunaga.]]
** [[spoiler: The hero's ultimate form isn't available until all of the non-downloadable post-game content is complete,]] making this something like a ''five minutes to midnight'' super power.
* EmpathyPet: Pokémon owned by important characters tend to mimic their Bushou Leaders' animations in cutscenes.
* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai
* ExcusePlot: A rare ''in-universe'' example! There's an old legend in Ransei that the [[OlympusMons Phantom Pokemon]] will appear to whoever owns all 17 castles. Thus, all the nations have an excuse to invade eachother.
* ExpressiveHair: Kaihime's hair almost literally ''explodes'' when she gets angry.
* ExtendedGameplay: Zigzagged. [[spoiler: You're locked out of playing your hero once you finish the main game until you beat all of the other non-Wi-Fi scenarios.]]
* GetBackHereBoss: Unusual for such an early point in a game, but Hideyoshi's Chimchar definately qualifies. Being a fire type, it can walk on lava panels, and its Ember has a range of 2 spaces. At this point, you neiter have a fire type of your own, nor an attack wiith more than 1 range, so he'll just sit back on the lava sniping you if you let him.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Some of the female Bushou's outfits border on AbsoluteCleavage... in a Pokemon game.
* GracefulLoser: Just about everyone. Notably, Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin will throw a party for you after defeating one or the other.
* GratuitousEnglish: One of the generic Bushou classes speakes this way. (In katakana though)
* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: All the female Bushou Leaders, at the very least.
* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: A given, considering the art style.
* HotBlooded: Motochika, oddly for a ''water'' user. It makes him a Foil to the calm, cool-headed grass user: Motonari.
* AnIcePerson: AkechiMitsuhide seems to be able to generate ice on his own accord. It even freaks out his Lapras.
* ILetYouWin: [[spoiler: Pulled by Nobunaga. He claims that he allowed you to unify the 17 nations and make Arceus appear, so that he can capture it himself.]] This is somewhat evident in gameplay, since the initial battle with the character is fairly easy, and the character's remarkably level headed about losing to you.
* IceQueen: Ayagozen's design just screams this. Complete with Frosslass-style hood in her upgraded form.
* ImprobableAge: Motonari certainly seems to think so about the protagonist, to the point where he worries he's the old guard on his way out, much to the dismay of his retainers.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Used by OdaNobunaga no less!
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: With HattoriHanzo, Fuma Kotaro, and several others.
* InstantWinCondition: some maps can be won by capturing all the flags scattered throughout.
* InterfaceSpoiler: Averted. There are 199 Pokémon on the Pokédex-esque list at the start of the game. [[spoiler: Encountered legendaries raise that number to a maximum of 211.]]
* JustifiedTutorial: The nations surrounding the starting one specialize in Fire, Water and Grass types, so fighting them serves as an indirect tutorial on type matchups.
* LazyArtist: The game's advertised 200 Bushou Leaders are comprised primarily of a little over three dozen different generic character designs re-used several times each with different names, type preferences, and abilities. Altogether, there's only around 70 unique designs for the generals, or about 107 if you're feeling generous enough to include the evolved designs.
** It's averted to varying degrees with the Pokémon, however. All 211 (''more'' than advertised, curiously) 'mons have at least one unique portrait, and those associated with special Bushou Leaders tend to have more.
** ReusedCharacterDesign: All the human NPC character designs originated in ''SamuraiWarriors 3''.
* LighterAndSofter: To the Nobunaga's Ambition side of the crossover's usual fare, anyway.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: Nobunaga is Oichi's brother.]] [[ForegoneConclusion But if you know your history, this shouldn't come as much of a surprise.]]
* MagikarpPower: The TropeNamer itself is in the game, but your starter shines almost as notoriously as it. With only one attack, the Eevee you begin with is pretty useless past the first few maps until you evolve it. You're going to have to be very patient if you wanted any of the Eeveelutions other than the first three, though....
* [[TheAnimeOfTheGame The Manga Of The Game]]: One that's posted on [[http://info.nicovideo.jp/seiga/ranse/ Nico Video]] at least every other Friday.
* MeaningfulName: Ranse means "turbulent times", an apt name for the [[JidaiGeki Sengoku Period]]-esque world the game is based on.
** All of the nations have one too.
* TheMedic: Oichi's Bushou Power heals your whole team, so she could be considered one.
* NiceHat: The male hero's second helmet, Mouhime's Mismagius-inspired witch hat, Ieyasu's ''sword-like'' helmet.... They're all over the place.
* NoCampaignForTheWicked: Averted. Everyone gets their own chapter after the main story, including the apparent BigBad Nobunaga.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Masanori's 'emotion' sprites are much more exaggerated and cartoony compared to everyone else's.
* {{Padding}}: Some of the post game episodes have you doing things like befriending 100 Pokémon as your only goal.
* [[AnimalMotif Pokémon Motif]]: Several Bushou evolve into wearing armor that resembles their Best Link (The only Pokémon they can reach 100% synchronization with), i.e. Kotaru's Zoroark claws and boa or [[DateMasamune Masamune's]] Braviary helmet.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: A Pokémon's strength is determined by how well synchronized it is with its Bushou Leader, in lieu of a more traditional experience system. This even translates into the story, as your rival military commanders don't start putting up a challenge until their Pokémon are [[EmpathyPet visibly synchronized]] with them.
* [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Race Gal]]: Ginchiyo comes from a clan of Electric type users, and she's proud to bear that heritage. [[ShownTheirWork Just like in real life.]] (minus the Electric Pokemon)
* RecurringBoss: Hideyoshi. First shows up in the Fire Nation, then later appears to help Nene defend the Poison Fang Nation. [[spoiler: And then he assists Nobunaga in the final battle.]] His Chimchar evolves each time.
* RecurringTraveler: Keiji, and the trio of Mitsunari, Kiyomasa and Masanori.
* SeventhEpisodeTwist: Well, excluding the Hajime Nation, the 7th castle you capture will be either the Earth or Phantasm Nation, and afterwards [[spoiler: not only do you meet Nobunaga in person for the first time, you find out he's Oichi's brother.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The region's name -- Ranse is the Japanese spelling, while Ranse'''i''' is the English variant.
* TheStarScream: Mitsuhide to Nobunaga in his post game scenario, in reference to real world Mitsuhide's ambush of Nobunaga.
* StarterVillain: Hideyoshi, though "villain" is a bit of a stretch.
* StealthPun: In real life, Hideyoshi was nicknamed "Little Monkey" by Nobunaga because of his appearance. In this game, he uses the Chimchar family.
** There's also the fact that, historically, Nobunaga was defeated by Mitsuhide, who was in turn defeated by Hideyoshi. In this game, they specialize in [[ElementalRockPaperScissors Dragon, Ice and Fire types respectively.]]
** Hideyoshi's personality in this game is impish and silly to match
* {{Stripperific}}: Kaihime when upgraded.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: The two generic Bushou who invade you at the start. One of them uses [[ComMons Bidoof]]. [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Um... yeah.]]
* TitleDrop: Nobunaga's Bushou Powers are titled Great Ambition and Extreme Ambition.
* TomboyPrincess: Kaihime. It's even one of her powers!
* TookALevelInBadass: As in Pokémon, the monsters can evolve to more powerful forms. Unlike either home series, the Bushou Leaders can also "evolve"... more impressive looking armor (though mechanically and even visibly it's no different from a Pokémon's evolution).
* TurnBasedStrategy
* VerbalTic: Yoshimoto tends to end his sentances with の.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Shingen and Kenshin. Their armies are ''much'' stronger than you're used to, and they're the first opponents to use fully-evolved Pokemon. Oh, and they add a variety of different type users to avert PoorPredictableRock.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Some of the Bushou, most notably Keiji.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Fighting Types?]]: After capturing the first three nations, the next three open up... one of which is the Fist Nation, upon which Oichi notes that both your and her Pokemon are Normal types... yeah, you're advised to avoid that area for now.
* WolverineClaws: Kotarou when upgraded.
* WorthyOpponent: Yukimura sees the hero as this. It makes a lot of sense when you realise his specialty Pokemon is Charizard which, according to the Pokedex, is also prone to this kind of behavior.
* UndyingLoyalty: Ranmaru to Nobunaga.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Inahime has this ''as one of her powers.'' Given that it increases movement range and [[ImprobableAimingSkills makes ALL attacks hit for 3 turns]], emphasis is probably placed on the 'iron heart' aspect of the trope.
* ZettaiRyouiki: The female protagonist. (It's more noticable on the gender select screen when starting a new game.)
